My one-on-one Bangla classes with Dipanwita Saha have been amazing. She has been teaching me for the last four months and uses a combination of the standard textbook and the more traditional Sahaj Paat written by Tagore; and a mix of reading, writing, and speaking exercises. The combination works really well especially the Sahaj Paat, which is a lot of fun and gives you a feel not just for the language but the cultural world of Bangla. I highly recommend Dipanwita as a Bangla teacher for new learners as well as for those who have some elementary knowledge.

Offering my highest commendations here for the Zabaan School for Languages, and particularly, for Urdu language instructor Vartika Pande. I’m a Hindi and English speaker who had zero familiarity with Nastaliq. Within just a few lessons with Vartika, I was able to read short sentences and start putting my own sentences together. I’m rapidly expanding a vocabulary of Urdu-language words, and of course, it’s fascinating to learn about the historical routes through Persian and Arabic, as well as the similarities and contrasts with contemporary Hindi. But more than that, Vartika is such a kind and generous teacher and has been so accommodating with complex scheduling for classes across multiple time-zones. Five stars!

Coming from the United States of America, I studied with Zabaan for 7 weeks in India, learning Hindi. It was one of the greatest experiences I've had, and I learned so many new things. The instructors are very kind and patient with all experience levels.I'd like to give a special shout-out to my instructors, Tamanna, Shanti, Anita Ma'am, and Vartika Ma'am. They were the best teachers I could have asked for (very welcoming, helpful, taught with engaging activities that made language learning fun by using real-world scenarios, and funny!) and we all developed an amazing relationship over those 7 weeks. I still keep in touch with them all, practicing my Hindi skills with them despite being across the world. Today, along with Marathi, I speak Hindi at home with my family, with another instructor in the US, and every chance I get over the phone/text.I highly recommend learning with Zabaan!
